Grant – We (he and a couple of his friends) are going to go out tomorrow morning and get her a DS and Animal Crossing because I found that helpful after dad died.

Me – I’ll give you money for that.

Grant – No. That’s okay. I think that it would be more meaningful coming from me.

My heart breaks for Grant’s friend and her family. But I am amazed at the caring and maturity of my kid. Though extremely unfortunate, I think that his friend has just the right friend to walk with her through this terrible time.

He is the best as are all three of your children. They have had very good role models to learn from;and you do what you know, so they will in turn pass those loving,caring ways forward to others. Thanks for being such a wonderful Mom and caring human being. Xoxo Mom and Dad

i am very proud to have kids that can be there for others. in one of the comments in a recent post, someone mentioned wishing that people would just do instead of waiting to be asked for help. i think that is what grant and his friends did today.
